This week, I realized I have no need to ever wear a watch again. I’ve been carrying around a cell phone which does that function perfectly well and I always have it around. My realization came about when I forgot to wear my watch one day and a lady standing in line asked me the time. I looked at my bare wrist and couldn’t tell her. It was only hours later that I realized I could’ve checked my cell phone.
What stunning realization have you come to lately?
Yesterday I realized that if I leave my cell phone and watch in the house and spend four hours riding down remote logging roads with no company except my horse and dog, I won’t be intruded upon by civilization. Sure, I could fall off the horse, break a leg and it might be days before anybody found me, but the risk is worth the reward. At least it is to me. Cell phones are henceforth banned from my solitary horseback rides.
Or you could take your phone along with you, but turn off the ringer (or, for that matter, keep the phone turned off). If anyone complains about your not answering their call, you can say “oh, the ringer must have gotten turned off somehow”. That way, you have the best of both worlds- you have the phone to call people if you needed it, but you won’t be bothered if someone is trying to call you.
I realized that I eat in my sleep.
You are quite correct, of course. But it seems to me that having the turned-off phone with me would lack the feeling of totally irresponsible behavior that leaving the phone at home gave me. I’ll try it and see!
One of the Advertised On TV Prescription Drugs has some rather alarming “side effects.”
They include: Sleep Walking, Sleep Eating & Sleep Driving!
I actually bought a new watch when I realized it would be much less of a hassle than pulling out my cellphone. Of course, now I have no reason to look at my cell phone and it dies much more often.
That I should not post all the stuff which came in via e-mail ,in this board, and it is in violation of board rules… :smack: :smack:
I realized that the root word of recreation is create. Recreation is a period in which you recreate yourself.
For that matter, when you go on vacation, you vacate the premesis.
I read this post while eating breakfast.
I stopped wearing a watch last year when the strap broke, and the times that I’ve missed it most have been when I’ve been abroad. My cellphone doesn’t work outside the US, so I don’t carry it around with me, but then I have no way of telling the time.
I don’t accept your premise, as I sit here on these premises.
I realized that the OP was talking about a watch. My first scan, I thought he said he would never have to wear an eye patch again.
I need to wear a watch because the cell does not work on the subway.
I realized that spell check is my friend.
That’s odd, isn’t the part of the cellphone that keeps the time not dependent upon access to a call signal? The time on my phone is always accurate, even when I go through “dead zones”. 
For the longest time I thought the Beatles was spelled as such simply because bands often deliberately misspell common words in their names. It only dawned on me a couple years ago that the name comes from the word “beat”, as in The BEATles! :smack:
My checking the Beatles Wiki article confirms this is the origin of the spelling.
I just realized that sometimes when people tell me “oh, the ringer must have gotten turned off somehow,” they might be lying to me.
Oh, well, at least there’s no way for people I talk to online to make themselves “invisible” or some silly thing like that!
On the “Dick Van Dyke Show”, the background music playing whenever Rob gets involved with the police and tries playing junior detective/G-man is almost identical to the music played on the “Andy Griffith Show” when Barney Fife starts acting (ineffectively) like some super-tough policeman. The shows first aired on CBS and were in production at about the same time, so sharing the music is plausible.
